New company is telling me they can’t give me my first paycheck.

I just started at a new company (multi-billion dollar company at that), and we were supposed to get paid 4/22.

I never set up direct deposit and the account it was deposited to is not mine. Its not even like it's off 1 number or anything its a completely different account. I asked if the check could be voided and a paper check be sent and he said it couldn't because it has been more than 10 days. I then suggested that maybe there was something mixed up and another new hire's (there were about 20 of us hired at once) information could have been submitted under my payroll account, he said I'd have to figure out if anyone got my check deposited to them. I am definitely going to escalate this situation because I know damn well this is not my responsibility but would love if I could get any advice on how to go about this situation and what rights I have before I just go to his bosses office and blow up.
